Robert McDougal of Alleged OCC Hate Crime Fame is Quite the Alt-Right Character

A suspended Orange Coast College student who was also the subject of a restraining order obtained by the Coast Community College District was arrested Monday for allegedly slashing the tires of two Campus Safety vehicles and carving a swastika and "fuck the nigger" into the hood of one the units.

Robert McDougal, 21, of Costa Mesa, was booked into the Costa Mesa jail on vandalism and hate crime charges on Monday but later released on $20,000 bail.

The swastika carved on the hood and presumably under the towel is the hate speech.

Clayton Spivey, editor-in-chief of OCC's Coast Report, got the scoop on the arrest and McDougal's release from custody. Spivey's reporting indicates the arrestee was previously suspended for repeatedly disrupting a chemistry class in late February. The restraining order applied to the Orange Coast, Golden West and Coastline campuses.

Spivey quotes John Farmer, OCC’s chief of Campus Safety, saying the vandalism happened around midnight outside the Campus Safety office, where a staff member said he saw McDougal, who was obviously familiar to security by then. He was previously arrested after he disrupted a class in the Chemistry building and was later subdued by Campus Safety with pepper spray on Feb. 27, reports Spivey, who adds McDougal subsequently served a 10-day suspension but returned to campus two more times on Feb. 28 and March 3.

Costa Mesa Police got the call around 1:30 a.m. Monday from Campus Safety about the vandalized vehicles, according to Roxi Fyad, the department's Public Affairs manager. Responding officers then contacted McDougal, who was arrested at his home on suspicion of felony vandalism and a hate crime due to the scratchings.

Fyad noted it will be up to the Orange County District Attorney's office on what exactly McDougal will be charged with—if anything.

Robert McDougal also posts as "Robert McDeplorable" on Twitter.

"McDougal, in the past few weeks, had been arrested twice for battery on a peace officer and battery on a school employee," Fyad says.

In his follow-up, Spivey quotes OCC President Dennis Harkins saying campus public safety officers have increased patrolling efforts and ask anyone who spots suspicious activity to call Campus Safety at 714.432.5555 or to call 9-1-1.

McDougal reports a recent run-in with a female student.

As you can see above and below, McDougal is quite active on social media promoting white nationalism, the alt right movement, anti-Semitism and retribution against anyone who disagrees with his world view.

To get a fix on how McDougal came out the way he has, check out what he wrote under another of his handles, “The McDougle Bugle,” in a Discus post a year ago titled, “Luminous Beings Are We:”

I have severe ulcerative colitis, I park in handicap, have lost half my blood at one point, go to the bathroom 15-25 times a day, have gone through a dozen drugs, still have to take immune suppressing drugs for the rest of my life, have sh*t my pants on tons of occasions at public places; college campuses, the gym, a freaking airport in between connecting flights and I had to get on the plane like that.
